Accessing Developer Tools on mobile

Help
1

What I’m trying to do

Hey, all. I've recently downloaded an 80s Neon Theme, and on the theme it says that there's a bonus animation that comes with it, and that all we have to do is uncomment it in the CSS file. I'm wondering if it's possible to do so on mobile, since I don't own a desktop as of late.

Things I have tried

I searched for solutions, but I mostly got answers about where to access developer tools on desktop, so I basically got nothing.

Ask GPT to find the part you want to disable and use that snippet.
You can install CSS Editor on mobile and Logstragavanza plugin for logs, but there is no dev tools on mobile. (Even if there may be some SDK on Android, for instance, you’d still need some PC with USB connection to emulate behaviour on mobile.)

Hi, I’m the developer of the Dune theme. There are no Dev tools on phone.
On desktop, you can download the community plugin “theme design utilities” to emulate and add rules for mobile devices.

Hi. Thanks for the reply! Something that I didn’t mention is that I’m not really acustomed to CSS and codes etc., so could you tell me how to actually open up the CSS file too to do this?

If you don’t know what exactly to disable, there is no use editing the css. Otherwise install the plugin then in the command pallette you can find the css you want to edit.

As I said, it’s better to upload the css file to ChatGPT or Claude.ai, explain the problem and what to remove or comment out, then edit the file in a dedicated text editor on mobile or even with the plugin, if needs be.

Also, if the theme supports customizing through Style Settings plugin, you can try tweaking the theme in that plugin (install Style Settings and look for theme there). Other themes have support and on Ultra Lobster I disabled animation myself.

The Logstragavanza plugin, right? I did, and I checked the command pallette, but I can’t seem to find the CSS to edit. I’m mainly struggling on how to actually get the CSS file FROM the theme, you see.

Thank you for your patience with me by the way! I’m not too familiar with these like I mentioned before, so your help so far is really appreciated.

CSS Editor as the name reflects enables the user to edit css snippets… But the theme css should be moved the snippets folder first, I reckon…

Anyway, the theme mentioned is 5 years old and unmaintained, so I’m not sure how that’s going to work…

Maybe try some other themes. Good luck

Yeah, I figured it out, and I finally got the bonus animation to work. Thank you so much for your help! The suggestion to install the CSS Editor did the trick. Turns out it was all I needed!
